RUSH: Now, folks, as I say, I've got all this figured out, and when I told you this wasn't about immigration, I was right; and when I told you that what this is really all about is the Democrats wanting and needing some new victims, I was right; and when I said this was all about politicians, particularly Democrats wanting new voters, I was right. But I was not a hundred percent right. I was close. To sum this up -- very simply -- what this bill is, this is not an immigration bill. What is being done here is being done under the guise of immigration reform. What this is, is a huge attempt by certain politicians, mostly moderate and liberal Democrats and moderate Republicans, to expand the federal government, to increase the numbers of people in poverty in this country by importing them via this immigration bill, which will set up the need to expand the "social safety" net in this country, which will then empower those who believe in big government.
It is also designed to provide a free flow of cheap labor for businesses that want to access it, and with the few limits on legal immigration that this bill imposes, we're no longer talking just about Mexicans. We now can import workers from all over the world who want to come in for the purposes of achieving and accessing the American dream, and believe me, if certain American businesses want to get labor cheaper than what they have to pay Mexican immigrants, they want to get them from Ethiopia, they want to get them from Sudan, here's an opportunity to do it. It really is no more complicated than that. I mean, you cannot read this bill and conclude anything else. This bill is senseless.

Did you see where McCain explicitly attacked Limbaugh over the illegal alien issue on May 24th in a New York speech?
McCain came in a distant fourth at our sparsely attended MN Convetion...not even eking past Condileeza Rice.
The surpirse was the strength of Newt Gingrich, but he had a pretty strong team of state supporters. Really big local names among the Movement here.
General consensus that a good chunk of the really mad people were among the ones who decided to just go fishing or whatever instead on a glorious weekend here...so the result for McCain among the faithful...is likely lethal to his imaginary prospects outside of the editorial suites of New York.
